Net Sales” means, with respect to a given calendar quarter, the total amount invoiced by Licensee for sales of Product in the Territory to third parties, less the following deductions calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP): (a) freight, insurance, packing, shipping charges, in each case as actually incurred and included as a specific line item on a bill or invoice to such third party; (b) custom duty of imported components, VAT/Indian excise tax, sales tax, or other governmental charges upon or measured by the production, sale transportation, delivery or use of goods, in each case included as a specific line item on a bill or an invoice to such third party; (c) trade, quantity and cash discounts allowed and taken, refunds, chargebacks and any other allowances given (as determined in accordance with GAAP) and taken which effectively reduce the gross amounts billed or invoiced; in each of (a) through (c) to the extent consistently applied across all products of Licensee. Net Sales on Combination Products shall be calculated based on the portion of product Net Sales attributable to Licensed API, as set forth in Section 4.2.

4. Consideration/Payment Terms/Audit

4.1 Royalty. As consideration for the licenses granted in Section 2, Licensee shall pay Gilead the following royalties on Net Sales of Product in the Territory for the duration of the Royalty Term:

(a) 7% of Net Sales of Sof Product in the Territory.

(b) 7% of the portion of Sof Combination Product other than Sof/LDV Product Net Sales attributable to the Sof component of such Sof Combination Product in the Territory, as determined in accordance with Section 4.2. In addition, to the extent any such Sof Combination Product also contains LDV, Licensee will also pay Gilead 7% of the portion of Sof Combination Product (other than Sof/LDV Product) Net Sales attributable to the LDV component of such Sof Combination Product in the Territory, as determined in accordance with Section 4.2.

(c) 7% of Net Sales of Sof/LDV Product in the Territory.

(d) 7% of Net Sales of LDV Product in the Territory.

(e) 7% of the portion of LDV Combination Product Net Sales attributable to the LDV component of such LDV Combination Product in the Territory, as determined in accordance with Section 4.2.

(f) No royalties will be owed on Licensee’s sale of API to other Licensed Product Suppliers, provided such Licensed Product Supplier has executed an agreement with Gilead requiring such Licensed Product Supplier to pay Gilead royalties on finished Product containing such API.

(g) Royalties on sales of Product to Gilead Distributors will be based on Licensee’s invoice price to such Gilead Distributor.

(h) On a Product by Product and country by country basis, if there is no Product Patent (as defined below) owned or controlled by Gilead (or its Affiliates) in India or the country in which such Product is sold, and if there is no reasonable possibility of obtaining such a Product Patent within a reasonable period of time (for example, through pending patent applications, the filing of patent applications, or by legal action (including appeals)) in India or the country in which such Product is sold, then Gilead agrees to negotiate in good faith a reduction on the royalty due with respect to such Product under this Agreement on a country by country basis. As used in this Agreement, “Product Patent” shall mean any patent or patent application claiming any Product or any API contained in such Product, including any patent or patent application claiming the composition of matter for such Product or API, or their formulation, or any patent or patent application claiming the method of use or method of manufacture with respect to such Product or such API.

(i) If any country within the Territory issues a valid, bona fide compulsory license pursuant to (1) the requirements promulgated under the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) or (2) valid laws within such country (“Compulsory License”) for any Product, then for the duration of such Compulsory License the royalty payable by Licensee on Net Sales for such Product in such country shall be reduced to the royalty rate paid to Gilead by such country for such Product under such Compulsory License.

4.2 Adjustment for Combination Products. Solely for the purpose of calculating Net Sales of Combination Products, if Licensee sells Product in the form of a Combination Product containing any Licensed API and one or more other active pharmaceutical ingredients in a particular country, Net Sales of such Combination Product in such country for the purpose of determining the royalty due to Gilead pursuant to Section 4.1 will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product in such country by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the invoice price of such Product if sold separately in such country, and B is the total invoice price of the other active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) in the combination if sold separately in such country. If, on a country–by–country basis, such other active pharmaceutical ingredient or ingredients in the Combination Product are not sold separately in such country, but the Product component of the Combination Product is sold separately in such country, Net Sales for the purpose of determining royalties due to Gilead for the Combination Product will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction A/C, where A is the invoice price of such Product component if sold separately, and C is the invoice price of the Combination Product. If, on a country–by–country basis, such Product component is not sold separately in such country, Net Sales for the purposes of determining royalties due to Gilead for the Combination Product will be D/(D+E), where D is the fair market value of the portion of the Combination Products that contains the Product, and E is the fair market value of the portion of the Combination Products containing the other active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) included in such Combination Product, as such fair market values are determined by mutual agreement of the Parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
